Previously known as “Love and War”, the film is now called “Along the Milky Way” (Na mlečnom putu); it is a film based on his short film Our Life and the script was co-wrote by Emir and his daughter Dunja.

History of the project :
In an interview of June 2012, Emir Kusturica declared he was going to shoot a film based on his short film ”Our Life”.

”Shooting will begin at 15. Septembre in Trebinje and will end till 15. December. Lead roles will be played by Sloboda Mićalović and myself.”

More information was found on this topic after a concert given in St Petersburg, in september 2012 : the film would already be in progress and the working title would be “Love and War”. The film would be in three-parts and Emir Kusturica confirmed he would be the leading role. Stribor Kusturica would compose the music.

In december 2012, Monica Bellucci tells to the French magazine Les Inrocks : ”Even if I can't tell you that much for the moment, it will be a film centered on the relationships between love and war. I will play a Serbian woman from a simple background, and Emir will be my husband. It's quite conceptual and very violent.”. Shooting should start in April 2013. (source : lesinrocks.com)
